The Rules of Baseball : How to Throw a Baseball

[bwfextreme]

thanks

[MAJORTOM009]

glove hand should be tucked in

[breayoon1]

and point ur toes to the target

[madbug1965]

Shouldn't you also cock your wrist back as you are beginning to throw and then snap it forward during the throw? I was told that this was an important part of throwing.

[TheFunnyBanana]

press 6 for pimpin

[theshotgunlunatic]

blkjbljk



[shankopotamusss]

you are incorrect..... that is a long looping throw you got there... the arms should come up like you are pulling back an arrow and your hand should climb and you get on top of the baseball- the hips should turn and your throwing arm should pronate on the follow through.

[darkmana20]

i need help my friends say i short arm the ball when i throw i have the power to get it to the person but they say its bad form..ive tried throwing normally but the ball goes way over their head or far left or right..any ideas?

[landogriff1n]

Jeez Jiminy ! You are not explaining possibly the most important part when throwing a baseball. You need to throw the ball with your elbow crossing your body and your wrist right behind it, this will create the snap to throw a fast and accurate ball. Your chest pivots, you elbow crosses your body, wrist whips behind elbow, ball zings!

[signevent]

Even though it's very short, it's very intense lecture for throwing ball.

[KPakaDaKiNg]

ok the way i throw a ball is weird like i short arm the ball its kinda hard to explain but if u get what im sayin then do you think you can help me fix this problem.

[mrbubble2727]

i don't take anyone seriously who wears sunglasses on top off their baseball hat

[MRDEADLYSNIPER1]

@mrbubble2727 especially guys from expertvillage xD

[HiImRussell]

okay i learned literally nothing. this vid would be just as informing with no sound or subtitles

[rockndude87]

What the fuck? If I wanted to know how to throw a baseball I'd ask Smalls, lol

[finnconnaughton]

@rockndude87 then why are you watching this video id you don't want to learn how to throw a baseball "The Rules of Baseball : How to Throw a Baseball" explains the video very well.

[supakoopa185195]

just dont be afraid to throw it to hard to your team

[MrSouthjerz]

OK, seriously, your explaining throwing in the infield guy!!!! NOT PITCHING, First off, you dont always have time to get a proper grip on the ball, second, after fielding the ball u take a step with your glove leg, bring your throwing leg up, step forward with ur glove leg, plant and throw

[cfl990]

@MrSouthjerz a good player will find four seam about 95 percent of the time when throwing the ball even when rushed

[melonbarmonster]

Step with the same side foot as your throwing are first???? WTF. That's the stupidest thing I've heard.

[cfl990]

@melonbarmonster leatn to play baseball asshole

[Emieliboy]

caps suck so bad

[ArmyAl3x]

This is crazy. Lets point with our leading foot away from the person your throwing too? This is incorrrect!

You should point your leading foot to the person you are throwing too!

[cfl990]

@ArmyAl3x ya when you are like 5 because your little league coach doesnt know how to pitch

[SolidMetal74]

holy fuck lol did anybody see that catch at the ending!!!!!

[CoolioKid22]

wow im like ten and i actually watched this cuz i cant throw a baseball, i just realized how much of a fail my life is

[CCMKBProductions]

fk i saw an ad for the mcdonalds thrird pounder i had one of those today and looked on the calorie paper and it had 760 calories!!!

[MrFaulconbridge]

thank you very much, i cudent throw a ball for shit before this vid

[RebornSlut]

how the fuck do you make an x with one arm crossing once.

[sub4sausage1]

1:03

[supercool9483]

LOL. That's how you throw a softball, not a baseball

[Ajmasterb12]

Just last week my arm just somehow had forgotten how to throw a ball. I don't try to aim it, I dont think about it, I just try to throw the ball but it ends up going everywhere else but to my target. Example: one hop, over the guys head, or sometimes nowhere near him.

Do you have any suggestions?

[pineappleisawesome1]

he isnt doing the correct motion hes almost "pushing" it instead if following through with the throw

[jimihindrixrox11]

guys u all dont no nothing about baseball fyi that is the right way to do it

[autaalak]

yall dont no baseball

[wavetman2]

he dont know how to throw! College player huh? yeah right kiss my A**

[dodgerman16]

Does crossing over make a difference when throwing?

[BaseballFan360]

@dodgerman16 No

[cday24]

What a Fail

[paintballbaseballkid]

if you goin to make a video about throwign learn how to fuckin throw.... ur goin to teach kids the wrong thing dumbass

[MrBadbadthings]

his arm motion isnt good he doesnt draw back enough it just kinda goes strait up but hey good vid neway it should help the ppl ur trying to help

[MrJMN2]

he catches like a girl.

[TheMagicGuitarHero]

thats really bad don't know how you can make the collage team?

[BroadwayFuture46]

@TheMagicGuitarHero - that's pretty bad that you cannot even spell the word 'college.' Maybe you should spend less time playing Guitar Hero and more time studying your spelling and grammar. I'm just making a statement; don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

[bugboy381]

Wow, i never knew...

[blssnare]

lol his throw is terrible...

[OhioStateFanaticOHIO]

you pathetic bastard

you dont just let your left arm wave there...you pull ur left arm torwards yourself...and 3 fingers if your fingers arent that big????? WTF it dont matter how big your fingers are....you should always use 2 fingers (if infielder) so the ball doesnt tail away from the target

[bigcalhouna]

Mother?

[conorman13]

this is pathetic lol

[jerni2786]

Just throw the damn ball!

[baseballstar6784]

trust me this video is only partially correct it doesn't show proper form and anything else you have to have your arm to a certain strength before you start throwing high speeds if you try to throw your hardest your going to completely destroy your arm i mean like tommy john and stuff

[dadshamp]

dude, it was just throwing. Not pitching

[toocka45]

He also forgot the pushing off with the back foot, the planting of the front foot and bringing your hips around, snapping the wrist. So... meh. Not the best video.

[letsgoplayers15]

he also missed tucking your glove arm and so on...

[toocka45]

Truzees.

[funnyvidsSUBSCRIBE]

thanks now i can go p;lay t ball with my buds

[dylf14]

its about form.. people throw wrong trust me... i have a friend who always throws side arm and does his own stupid shit...its unnatural and will hurt him in the long run(literally). he wont listen to my advice......its not hard to throw a ball. throw it with good form and then u easily add a few miles to the speed.

[08Legacy08]

Ya actually I need to look at the form Im in senior or junior league now and Im 15 and I just lost my skill for throwing accurate...idk why it just happened I can throw hard jsut nto accurate so I need to learn the moves all over again -sighs-

[masmacater]

this is stupid who need help throwing a baseball

[budno1]

apparently you idiot if you watched the video and commented

[masmacater]

bitch i looked up how to throw a sinker and this was one of the videos on the side....so i said what the fuck who needs help throwing a ball so i watched it u fucken fag

[dylf14]

lol anger.....

[Cr381v3]

hahahahhahaaa (Y)

[Silverfire321]

Learn to play, then come back and let's talk about it. Doing anything correctly takes a lot more effort than people might initially think. Anyone can throw a baseball, and about 99% of people throw like crap.

[CrossfadeEvolution]

This guy is an old school player :P

[lopyer5678]

this guy sucks!  look at his glove....what is that?

[euphfellowship]

Looks like a Rawlings.

[RoTi37]

you suck, pro players can catch with anything, you faggot.

[32spartan11]

always hold the ball ACROSS the seams in the field as if throwing a 4 seam fastball not with as this guy says the ball will tail if you hold it with the seams

[gillieman760]

there still remains no experts in expert village!

[32spartan11]

sadly your right baseball is struggleing as it is and teachoing kids incorrectly isnt helping

[SaxBeast1]

he isnt showing the right fundamentals for your arm

[greg1234556789]

thanks alot i need to know how to throw harder and farther, i have alot of strength but the ball won't go as far as i c my friends throw them, and their weaker, anybody know any tips to throw better?

[CrossfadeEvolution]

learn how to crow hop for more momentum. make sure your not throwing sidearm. Use ur elbow to point then when ur throwing pull your elbow in. follow through.

[greg1234556789]

alright thanks

[outlawthgz1]

as u r winding up 4 the throw have ur wrist cocked back and as u r going forward snap ur wrist forward also

[tvrafi]

your throwing hand should be holding the ball with two fingers on top and your thumb on the bottom (facing away from you) with your arm bent at the elbow - making sure to keep your arm high up (up is mor imortant than stretched out backwards) and as you begin to throw with your body, your hand shoud follow suit and snap it forward for that extra momentum and strenght which you are looking for.

good luck

[greg1234556789]

thanks man i will start to use this.

[hhspitch17]

I have a question. When stepping toward the target, should I land on my toe as you show or would it be better to land on the heal of my foot so that I can trasfer my weight during the throwing motion? I feel that I am better balanced when landing on my heel or landing flatfooted.

Thanks

[530player]

thx

[chemstu]

Thanks for posting this. I can complete my project now.

[ipod14202]

then why are you seeing a video about baseball

[eviltkat]

this video reminds me of my videos!!1 8

[ilovecereal371]

I love how expertvillage makes tutorials for the most pointless tasks.

Next up: How to climb a flight of stairs

[kicknbazz1615]

hahaha good one lol

[CrazyKewlx3]

rofl ツ

[soccerman127]

i mean 82,000 viewer

[insolentpig4313]

good for u

[soccerman127]

i'm the 82,000 commenter

[baseballnut187]

who is this guy trying to teach.  He'd be better off just not posting videos. He just wasted two min of my life

[narutoguypersonkid]

one minute retard

[PilingProductions]

2 minutes because he watched it twice. lol.

[thepunisherisback]

lmao

[rednecksk8r94]

who dont no how to throw a baseball

[D555J]

Corey Hart

[D555J]

needs this video

[tclarktpc]

LMAO

[mikestop23]

a rookie duhh

[IMmeATlilMAMA49]

what a retard

[yabbayabbayoo]

that's actually pretty crappy -- he didn't explain the hip movements, the elbow sliding, the wrist flicking, the shoulder shift -- yeah. sucky.

[wilsonappr4]

pretty cool!

[superman74321]

you r idiot and you dont'n kinow baseball!!

[DesiMamiiMadFoo]

76,418 VIDEROS WTF

[nico418010]

expert village is big

think of it as if wikipidea made a video for all the topics they talk about

[Cubsmaster666]

How do you make your play button customized like that???

[aceofhearts157]

whut r u talking about? just 4 seam to throw not 3 fingers wtf??

[elshow24]

yeah i agree with you this guy iz a fuckin retard

[thechessstick]

Get a clue dude. The first step in throwing a baseball is a loading of weight away from the target. You aren't really a coach are you?

[AvidD93]

lmao wtf??? stop trying to make throwing a baseball a scientific miracle. u must suck

[Rasterius]

Cricket is way better. The bowlers are consistently a lot faster and the batsmen hit a lot further type in six sixes and click on the one with yuvjaj to see for yourself. Also type in 'Shaun Tait' or 'Brett Lee' or 'Shoaib Akhtar.

[Reaper36a]

Cricket is da best im from pakistan and i love cricket.

[elshow24]

LMAO fag

[kennyk1313]

Cricket is for losers. I am from India AND DOUCHISTAN aka PAKISTAN FUCKING SUCKS!This guy knows what he's doing, but cant slow it down enough for you to learn retard.

[crestwood911]

k i just wanna say screw all you dumb shits that say there 5 and they can throw 90mph

k im 12 and i can trow 73mph and thats pretty average-to-good

[im11]

haha dude im 13 and i can throw 75...but thats really good!

[pea8vey]

nice field!!

[lucypdx]

Appreciating baseball requires a certain degree of intelligence. You don't like baseball, we probably know why.  That's ok. Stick with basketball. Not so taxing, mentally.

[Yeigerbombz]

These people are hating on baseball.. haha they probably play some joke like basketball or hockey.

[tatertell]

DUDE WTF>> thats pitching stance what i [play atm] if u on second throwing to first ha!! ye right thats gunna get u a ball falling short.. lol just make a quik body movment with a side arm throwing ball

[aldichiara]

Few people realize that the baseball, when unwound has enough fiber that if consumed would provide a great bowel movement to approximately 164,390 adults or 196,859 if you include children and fussy eaters.

[TrilogyofC]

hey, well done for showing the vid... Iam sure some baseball beginners will appreciate it.

[chowfon166]

he throws like a girl

[ktgurl2]

Girls throw better than that, chowfon.

[Trunks892]

this is funny...NERDS WELCOME!

[RMTProduktionz]

Whaen you put your arm back to throw you should point your palm away. It gives you more whip(and cosequently speed) on the ball and wont mess up your elbow.

[azzab2709]

Baseball is rounders in england. Baseball is a shit game. How can throwing a ball at a bat with the off chance of them hitting it and going round a circle be considered entertain or even a sport. Rounder/baseball is concidered a girls game in England. Fucking most boring game to watch and play.

Fucking sole destroying

[Ryder649]

Well we like baseball and there is nothing you can do to stop us...so you dont like baseball then dont waste your time commenting on the video or thinking about it....im from jamaica and our national sport is soccer but i hate it and its also europes sport to so you guys can have fun play soccer and may the best man win but since as we like baseball go play soccer and we will play baseball SHITHEAD

[azzab2709]

Ryder649-fuck you, ye you go play ya baseball,fuck me its a sole destroying game to watch and even play. I have played rounders at school in my PE class and it was.fucking sole destroying. I dont mind my FOOTBALL im more of a rugby man myself but i would rather watch football than fucking sole destroying

[b1ad3123]

your a fucking dickhead. I dont know any other word to describe you. If you dont like baseball, woop de fucking do, i couldnt be more happier for you. Oh and stop saying sole destroying, because no, it doesnt make you snarter by saying that.

[azzab2709]

b1ad3123- Why dont you go fuck yourself????

"any Snarter?????

Shows your smartness dont it and lack of spelling.

[IsraelForever18]

Is there anything wrong with being a girl? You said that baseball is a girls sport and that means a lot because girls are tough. And I would like to see you try and hit a 100 mile an hour fastball.

[baseballplayer654]

fuck u son of a bitch u could never even make my high school baseball team

[azzab2709]

Baseballsshit- I wouldnt want to make your baseball team. Coz the games fucking shite !!!

[toriihunter4821]

then y the fuck are u watching it u dumbass? go to hell u hater

[toriihunter4821]

yeah and u say that way to fuckin much. what r u, 5? and shite? wtf thats retarded. u just can't handle that baseball fuckin rules and ur a stupid shit who has no life so u watch videos of sports that u dont even like....just stfu dude

[azzab2709]

tori- lol. Baseball is crap end of. How can throwing a ball on the off chance of the man with the bat hitting it andpossibly hitting it out of the stadium be considered even a sport. utter shit. and you stfu

[drbman20]

torii don't listen to what this dumb-ass is saying. obviously he doesn't know shit about baseball and he probably never will. and baseball isn't your so called "shite". knowing you, you probably smell like "shite". so go kick rocks trash talker.

[gr4nd7h3f731373]

This is begginner stuff, but not bad I guess.

[CrystalMuzzy]

after watching de movie benchwarmers,it inspired me to learn baseball so here i am!

[dUnw0rYboUTiT]

if u r a pitcher u care about throwing strikes more then anything.

[alsmang]

hey addikaye03 , its not joe zumaya, its Nolan ryan with 106 mph

[addikaye03]

Joel Zumaya: fastest pitcher of all time at MLB level, clocked at 103.7mph and suspicions of a 104mph but may have been radar error

[medichoice2]

I don't know why everyone worries about speed so much, because they can reach that speed but they can't throw it consistently. For the most part most pitchers can't even throw it with much control.

[vincedacarter]

Bobby Dobby ur a dumb ass last year Josh Garland of the Chicago White Sox was clocked at 103 mph against the Boston Red Sox u idiot

[Maddolis]

Hey, I'm Aussie so I don't know a great deal about baseball, but I'm just wondering what speed (in m/h or km/h) that the fastest pitchers throw at?

[ozunasox]

probably at about 105mph, but thats just speed, there is also movement in the pitchs which makes it difficult to hit, and the location of the pitch matters too,

[BobbyDobby]

105? You no nothing.

The fastest fastball clocked in on radar I believe was 100 or 101 by Nolan Ryan. Bob Feller hit 98 back in the 40s. So fastest is at about 100 miles per hour.

[Maddolis]

Thanks for the help, both of you.

[thekneez1234]

joel zumaya of the detroit tigers hit 103 104 numerous times in the 07 and 06 seasons. sry to say but you know nothing

[BobbyDobby]

It was concluded that the fastball was 100 mph, and the ball that was hit was traveling 104 mph.

;-)

[Madnis64]

Actually, the fastest pitch ever thrown in MLB was clocked at 106 m/hr or 107 m/hr. No need to worry, only the hardest throwing pitchers can get to that range. Most fastballs are in 90s like 96 m/hr which is still very fast

[lonestargreat]

hahaha! Is this cat playing slow pitch softball? hahah!

[bman231]

so funny cuz he doesnt turn his body the way he says u suppose to

[anwpimp2]

he throws like helen keller

[xxlokito23xx]

Nice, i love these videos; very helpful!

thanks

[Dez3r]

What is this? An idiots guide for arm injuries??? Buck up and throw the ball!!!

[shutupjackass]

This is missing allot of important stuff. what about leg drive...what about the other arm...what about the proper spin on the ball...across the body is only the finish. what about the elbow at a 90 degree angle and so on and so on.

[mattsback1]

hahahahahahah

[damekjosh44]

if you cant throw the ball 90ft..... dont play baseball.... otherwise.... throw how you want to damn it!!!!!!

[BobbyDobby]

Actually this is the proper way to throw a baseball, mainly when warming up. Your body is not naturally made to throw a baseball, especially when pitching, the mechanics are not somethign the body is use to. Therefore with proper techniques, you can insure a safe throw with little stress on the body. Sure you CAN throw how you want... but don't bitch when you're the one getting Tommy John Surgery.

[ozunasox]

thts not funny, my teammate gt that surgery, its horrible he was doing really well

[thekneez1234]

u come back stronger from tommy john

[ozunasox]

really wow. well he cant seem to hit the strike zone now. he walks so many people and is just wild

[nashkit]

dude, you dont throw across your body. You throw over the top.

[xxbigluxx]

how do u step with ur left if u a lefty...im lefty.. i point my right foot towards the cather ...this guy is wrong

[ebrio050neciote]

This guy does not even know what baseball is.. OMG, I play Baseball in Dominican Republic, and over here they don't teach us that stuff that way...

[rogerrogerman]

lol that was bullshit

[Tim118Jones]

Thanks for that; very helpful. ;)

[schoolfreak001]

dude r u seriously teaching people how to throw that comes natrually and your tecknique is garbitch

[KalvinEllison]

Some people will find anything to bitch and complain about. That guy is showing the proper way to throw. Take it from me. I'm a 3 time Little League All-Star.
